Raja Bell: "Memphis will be the next Kentucky" - TripleA - 08-02-2018 09:39 PM
Sorry, this isn't going in that ginormous basketball thread. This news should make everybody in this conference happy, whether it ever happens, or not. Great pub for all of us.
P.S. For those unfamiliar with Bell, he played 13 years in the NBA, and is currently Director of Player Administration for the Cleveland Cavs.

This is only going to rile some more people up around here. You know which ones....

Not my intention, nor my problem.

If they can pull it off great... good for the conference... it will only make us stronger..
People only get riled up.. when Memphis fans.. think year 1 .. they are going to come in win the championship. Its been talked abt over and over again..

Good find. It is in the enlightened self interest of all AAC members for Memphis to fully realize its potential.

Not saying its gonna happen but not impossible either. It's not like there's a juggernaut team next year.

We dont have enough NCAA infractions through our history to be Kentucky. And that's saying a lot.

Lmao. No kidding.
Penny hasn’t even set foot on the floor yet and this crap is constantly being flung around. Of course, Memphis fan tries to justify it by some “it’s good for the conference, not my problem” crap.
And you guys thought WSU fans were bad last year. This stuff is nauseating.

I really do hope Memphis gets back up, because they're really our one historic "rival" in the conference and it would be great to have more battles like we did in CUSA...but it needs to be said, I really hope their Compliance Office has their ducks in a row, checks in invisible ink, and their burner phones in a strong lockbox.

It's also not impossible for USF to win the national title next year.

this!
Really would love to see Memphis, UC & UConn battle at the top of this league for the next few years and all be national powerhouses.
Memphis- Cincy goes way back
UC- UConn have your Big East days
Mem- UConn have had some good games and could grow into a rivalry

Someone please provide the link where one of us said we were gonna win the championship. I know haven’t. If you want to get good players and be considered a successful program, that should be your goal though.
If it’s been said, I’m guessing you’ve been trolled. Seems like it worked.

Right, the general theme is Penny has performed very well to date, the future looks promising (although success is not assured), and Tiger prosperity is good for our league.

Being the next Kentucky...
Uh, I don't see that as a good thing. Everyone knows they cheat their a$$es off.
RE: Raja Bell: "Memphis will be the next Kentucky" - cscottl1981 - 08-03-2018 08:55 AM
Raja didn’t reference cheating, but he did say he expected a high level of recruiting and a lot of winning.

UC can't afford to cheat.
We needed a minor league soccer team to rent our stadium in order to keep the athletic dept. going.
